K2986-XXL - Lincoln Electric Shadow Hybrid Welding Jacket, Split Leather Sleeves, 2X-Large

Stay Protected and Comfortable with the Lincoln Shadow Series

Every welder knows the struggle of choosing between safety and comfort. Full leather jackets offer bulletproof protection but can feel like wearing a sauna suit in the middle of summer. Cotton jackets are cool and light but can turn into Swiss cheese after a few days of heavy Stick welding. The Lincoln Electric K2986-XXL Shadow Split Leather Sleeved Jacket is the solution that bridges the gap. It gives you the armor you need exactly where you need it—on your arms—while keeping your core cool with a breathable FR cotton body. It’s the smart way to weld, letting you focus on your puddle rather than how much you are sweating.

The sleeves are made from genuine split cowhide, tough enough to shrug off the heavy spatter from 7018 rods or high-amperage MIG wire. You can rest your arms and move freely without worrying about burns. Meanwhile, the chest and back are made from flame-retardant cotton, which keeps the jacket light and allows heat to escape. This hybrid design means you can wear it longer and work harder without the fatigue that comes from wearing heavy, stiff gear. The fit is generous, with this 2X-Large size providing ample room for movement, so you never feel restricted when reaching for an overhead weld or maneuvering into a tight spot.

Lincoln Electric didn't just stop at materials; they thought about the daily grind. The jacket features a flip-up collar that seals tight with Velcro, saving your neck from those nasty sunburns and stray sparks that always seem to find their way down your shirt. The front snaps are backed by a special spatter guard flap, ensuring that nothing gets through the front closure. Plus, you get two large pockets with flaps to keep your soapstone, markers, and tips handy and secure. Finished in a sleek black with red accents, the Shadow jacket looks as good as it performs, making it a staple for any serious fabricator's locker.
